You must have seen this, but just in case you missed it.Australian cycling boom a myth""Well over half a million more Australians could be riding bicycles if we didn't have mandatory helmet laws, according to research I conducted last year which showed one in five adults surveyed in Sydney said they would ride a bicycle more if they did not have to wear a helmet," Professor Rissel said."

It is most ironic the the Oz Govt is trying to increase the number of science graduates, but when scientific research including those from Prof Rissel shows the fallacy of bike helmets and its deterrence on cycling, the Oz Govt ignores the findings if not treats it with contempt.

Finally some nice shots of people on bikes in Vancouver! The usual image shown of Vancouver cyclists is helmets + special rain gear.

@Ceci n'est pas un display name.I wonder if VPD eased on their enforcement with so many people from out of country...Wouldn't look good on Vancouver if people from all over the world went back home with a $30 ticket.
